Chewie, I'm lucky like you. No MS at all for all my pregnancies.
My friend told me that her colleague has to tell everyone that she was preg because she has to walk around, attend meeting with a big mug in case she has not enough time to rush to wash room.
Pearl, my whole oscar took about half an hour. My bb was co-operative & move into the position. If not, i might have to go outside to sit for awhile then continue the session.
Birdbrain, i have no MC for oscar too. trying to save some leaves if i can. I took the TMC package for oscar & detailed scan. going back again in Sep for detailed scan

re: travelling and sterilizing
if baby is above 1 yr old, can just use hot soapy water to wash the bottles and then use hot boiling water to pour over. no need to bring sterilizer for holidays.
but need to bring bottle wash and sponge. also bring some instant cereal sachets, or bottled baby food.
day to day sterilizing
if fully bottle feeding, buy at least 6 bottles, as nb feed almost every 2 hours, and some take a long time to feed, so if let's say bb takes 30min to feed, you only have 1.5hr to wash/sterlize before the next feed starts all over again.
and frankly u will be so tired that you rather use the time to rest or catch up with the rest of the chores.
with 6 bottles, wash after every feed, sterlise when using the 6th bottle so that by late afternoon time, you will have 6 fresh bottles to last you the night feeds and next day morning - early afternoon feeds. you can leave the sterlized bottled in the sterlizer for as long as 6-12 hrs as long as you take out the items using the tongs instead of your hands to avoid contamination.
it's better to use bb bottle & nipple wash to wash bottles and feeding related items as normal dish washing liquid contains scents etc lemon, floral which are too strong for bb.
sterlizers are also easy to use - no need to keeo watch over a hot boiling pot, as it;s auto off. mummies with newborns will be tired and fatigued, so wld be more forgetful, so boiling over stove incur additional risks.
a warmer is useful if you often express BM, or if you have a baby that drinks very slowly, easier to warm up with timer so that you do not over warm up the milk and kill all the nutrients in BM. another method is just fill up a cup with hot water and put the bottle in.
for bottle brush
buy those sponge ones and not the plastic spikey ones, the plastic spikey ones tend to scratch the insides of the bottles which is not good as bottles deteriorate faster.

Sweetcorn: I think detailed scan is around 20 weeks.
My Oscar next week Wed, 10th Aug. Initially supposed to be 12th Aug, bu doc say my baby growing very fast so change to 10th aug..
Is it okay for baby to grow fast? Everytime I go check up, everytime the EDD pushes forward as baby is getting bigger. Is it okay? Felt worried..Worried abt the oscar test too.. NEed to do blood test oso? Or scan only?

Suet, is this your first? Do you know gender yet? Some online websites say no ms means something... Haha
I went for my nuchal scan & blood test last Tues. My doc din call it Oscar. And I didn't need to go down to TMC or elsewhere to do. It took less than half hr, incl usual consultation. Results in 3 working days. I'll ask her on next visit if it's Oscar or different

HappyMomToBe, I drank red dates & longan tea previously. Nothing happen so shld b ok.
Chewie, this is my 4th. I know, when you dont hv MS, you wonder if you are still pregnant. That's why I look forward to my check up. U mean there's other meaning?
I dont know the gender yet. Hopefully, will find out by next appt, next Sat. The one u did sounds like oscar. Maybe yr gynae does it himself/herself.

I went to Mt A hospital tour last weekend and have more or less decided on the hospital cos I really like the environment. I think i am too kiasu, cos my tummy is the smallest ampng all the rest of the mtb... haha...
Anyone going for tours soon?
I was at Taka fair last weekend too... wah so many things to see... i dun have any idea what to look out for... it's so crowded... but wat caught my attention are the bigger items such as stroller, car seats and baby cot/playpen... the strollers are really cheap, real gd discounts... so most likely i will go and buy one before the fair ends... anyone has recommendation on the brands? So many brands see until i blur...
Anything else to get? I plan to buy them next week, until i reach 13 weeks... cos i pantang... haha

Hi mummies, been really busy so can't reply to all the messages. Thanks all for those who replied.
Question
- do any of you have increase body hair?
- is there such a thing that certain bottles can store formula milk in fridge and certain bottles for BM to store in fridge.
We decided to get the pigeon sterilizer package and get them to deliver it. Pretty decent package with lotsa sample stuff thrown in by the sales person. Decide to spend a little To ease our life later as DW will be tired.

Saw a sad news just now at Jan 2012 thread. A mummy went for her chkup at 16weeks and realized her bb heartbeat stopped at 13weeks. I feel so sad and sorry for her. All mummies looking forward to 2nd trim and hope to be in the safe zone. It's really sad to hear that. Hope God will bless her with another child.

Soul,
No increase of body hair.. As per normal.
As for bottles.. There's no need for u to store formula milk in the fridge. When bb needs milk, just make it right away. As for storing of bm, u can store it in those milk bottles that comes with caps like medela or sealing discs like avent.

Suet, wow 4! Unless all same gender, think whatever I read online is rubbish! Haha! U expressed my exact sentiment. I really like going gynae to see the ultrasound. Maybe I shd get doppler...
Soul, increased body hair could mean boy as it is caused by testosterone. Also smtg I read online. Dun hold it against me
My prev appts were 3 wks apart. Now 4
